On our first day of freedom after two months of isolation, I discovered Diego didn’t know

Maps give information about many things. They can show countries, states, towns, rivers, lakes and mountains. Some maps show roads and highways. People use road maps to help them get from one place to another. Some special maps provide helpful information about the weather. Most maps have titles. The title tells what the map is about.
The map below is a street map. It shows streets and important places in a neighborhood called Bee Hill. It uses symbols to show where things are. For example, a small airplane shows where the airport is. The letter H shows where the hospital is.
There is also a key on the map. This is a list that explains what all the symbols on the map stand for. At the bottom of the map is a compass rose. The compass rose shows the directions north, east, south and west.

Molly and her band Street Smart were waiting to play their song in the Battle of the Bands competition. Jasmine, their drummer, had butterflies in her stomach.
“Don’t worry, Jasmine,” smiled Molly. “Everything is going to be okay.”
Suddenly, Mark and his band Wild Ride walked past. Molly looked up.
“Hey, Molly, guess who’s on stage next?” Shouted Mark.
“Who?” said Molly.
“Wild Ride,” said Mark, giving his guitar player a high five.
“Now, you can watch a great rock band do their thing.”
“Oh, and by the way, Molly,” said Mark, “you do know there’s only one way to rock today?”
“No,” said Molly, “what way is that?”
“Our way,” smiled Mark, giving his guitar player another high five.
Molly rolled her eyes as Mark and his band ran out on stage to play their song.
Molly and Jasmine watched as Wild Ride played their song in front of the school. They played so loudly that Molly could feel her stomach moving up and down.
“Wild Ride are really good,” cried Jasmine. “There’s no way we can win today.”
Molly smiled at Jasmine. “I wouldn’t say they’re that good. They’re just loud-that’s all.
Wild Ride finished playing their song, and the viewers cheered.
“Oh, I’m so nervous,” whispered Jasmine.
Molly’s teacher, Mr. Williams, walked towards the band.
“Okay, girls, it’s your turn next,” he smiled.
Molly led her band onto the stage. The girls plugged (插座) in their electric (电) guitars. Jasmine picked up her drumsticks.
“All right, everyone, let’s rock this place!” Shouted Molly.
“Yeah!” said the girls.
Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and the power turned off. The school hall fell silent.
“Oh, no!” Cried Jasmine.
Molly played her guitar, but no sound came out from the speakers. “No way! This can’t be happening,” she cried.
Jasmine’s face dropped. “Now we’ve got no chance at all!”
The girls looked at Molly, not knowing what to do.
Suddenly Molly’ eyes shone up. “Hey, I know how we can do this!” she shouted.
51. The underlined part “had butterflies in her stomach” means ________.
A. excited B. pleasant C. confident D. nervous

53. What can we infer (推断) from the story?

Imagine you are walking through the woods and you see a small dog. It looks cute and friendly. You move up to pet the dog. Suddenly it barks and tries to bite you. The dog no longer seems cute and you feel afraid and possibly angry. Then, as the wind blows, the leaves on the ground are carried away and you see the dog has one of its legs caught in a trap. Now, you take pity on the dog. You know it becomes unfriendly because it is in pain.
We all judge (评判) others all the time. It might be over small things, like a workmate who takes too long of a lunch break. Or it might be over bigger matters, such as a person who does something selfishly or hurts our feelings. There are many reasons why we judge others. It is human nature to find a way to survive. When we see a dog or a person that might bite us, of course we feel threatened (威胁). We become nervous, want to fight back and are unable to see the possible reasons for another’s behavior (行为).
Although judgment is a natural behavior, try to catch yourself before you speak, for you can’t get your words back. Make a short stop. Try to change your thought into a positive (正面的) one. In fact, like that dog in the trap, we really don’t know the reasons for someone’s behavior.
When someone disagrees with us or makes our life difficult, remember that it’s usually not about us. It may be about their pain or struggle (挣扎) . Why not give others the right to express their doubt? “ 56 ” Will Smith said, “because in all honesty, everyone is struggling. Some people are better at hiding it than others.”
54. The writer talks about the dog in the first paragraph mainly to __________.
A. give an example B. set the background C. share a good story D. tell a fact
55. According to the writer, we usually judge others __________.
A. for our own survival when feeling threatened
B. after thinking carefully about their situation
C. about the real reasons behind their behavior
D. over big matters instead of small ones
56. Which is the most suitable sentence for “ 56 ”?
A. Never believe that others have pain.
B. Never pay much attention to others’ pain.
C. Never think others’ pain is bigger than it really is.
D. Never think others’ pain is smaller than it really is.
57. What can we infer (推断) from the passage?
A. The best way to judge others is over something big like being hurt.
B. The writer thinks it’s never too late to judge others.
C. The writer agrees that people should think twice before judging.
D. We often judge others by finding out a perfect reason behind the behavior.

Everyone knows about straight-A students. We usually see them in TV programs and in movies. The kids at the top of the class get there by achieving a few basic skills that others can learn in an easy way. As a result, it is necessary for you to learn the secrets of becoming straight-A students.
Among the students we have interviewed, study times are quite different according to their own habits. Some work late at night when it is quiet, while others stay awake early. And there are still others who decide to study as soon as they come home from school. All of them agree, however, on the need for study time. “Whatever I was doing, I would find some time every day for studying,” says a top student from New Jersey.
Being organized is another habit they share in common. McCray, an excellent student interviewed, plays football and plays the violin. “I was so busy and I couldn’t waste time looking for a pencil or missing paper. I kept everything right where I could put my hands on it,” he says. Some students have two folders (文件夹) — one for the day’s homework, the other for papers completed and graded.
The top students also take good notes while reading the text. In fact, David Cirri, another top student interviewed, uses “my homemade” system in which he draws a line down the center of a notebook, writes notes from the text on one side and those from the lessons given by his teacher on the other. Then, he is able to review both at once.
Just before the bell rings, most students close their books, put away papers, whisper to friends and get ready to rush out. But the top students use the few minutes to write a two-or-three-sentence summary (概要) of the lesson’s important points.
By following the above secrets, there is no doubt that you can become a straight-A student.

“Don’t worry, Jasmine,” smiled Molly. “Everything is going to be okay.”
Suddenly, Mark and his band Wild Ride walked past. Molly looked up.
“Hey, Molly, guess who’s on stage next?” Shouted Mark.
“Who?” said Molly.
“Wild Ride,” said Mark, giving his guitar player a high five.
“Now, you can watch a great rock band do their thing.”
“Oh, and by the way, Molly,” said Mark, “you do know there’s only one way to rock today?”
“No,” said Molly, “what way is that?”
“Our way,” smiled Mark, giving his guitar player another high five.
Molly rolled her eyes as Mark and his band ran out on stage to play their song.

“All right, everyone, let’s rock this place!” Shouted Molly.
“Yeah!” said the girls.
Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and the power turned off. The school hall fell silent.
“Oh, no!” Cried Jasmine.
Molly played her guitar, but no sound came out from the speakers. “No way! This can’t be happening,” she cried.
Jasmine’s face dropped. “Now we’ve got no chance at all!”

Imagine you are walking through the woods and you see a small dog. It looks cute and friendly. You move up to pet the dog. Suddenly it barks and tries to bite you. The dog no longer seems cute and you feel afraid and possibly angry. Then, as the wind blows, the leaves on the ground are carried away and you see the dog has one of its legs caught in a trap. Now, you take pity on the dog. You know it becomes unfriendly because it is in pain.
We all judge (评判) others all the time. It might be over small things, like a workmate who takes too long of a lunch break. Or it might be over bigger matters, such as a person who does something selfishly or hurts our feelings. There are many reasons why we judge others. It is human nature to find a way to survive. When we see a dog or a person that might bite us, of course we feel threatened (威胁). We become nervous, want to fight back and are unable to see the possible reasons for another’s behavior (行为).
Although judgment is a natural behavior, try to catch yourself before you speak, for you can’t get your words back. Make a short stop. Try to change your thought into a positive (正面的) one. In fact, like that dog in the trap, we really don’t know the reasons for someone’s behavior.
When someone disagrees with us or makes our life difficult, remember that it’s usually not about us. It may be about their pain or struggle (挣扎) . Why not give others the right to express their doubt? “ 56 ” Will Smith said, “because in all honesty, everyone is struggling. Some people are better at hiding it than others.”
54. The writer talks about the dog in the first paragraph mainly to __________.
A. give an example B. set the background C. share a good story D. tell a fact
55. According to the writer, we usually judge others __________.
A. for our own survival when feeling threatened
B. after thinking carefully about their situation
C. about the real reasons behind their behavior
D. over big matters instead of small ones
56. Which is the most suitable sentence for “ 56 ”?
A. Never believe that others have pain.
B. Never pay much attention to others’ pain.
C. Never think others’ pain is bigger than it really is.
D. Never think others’ pain is smaller than it really is.
57. What can we infer (推断) from the passage?
A. The best way to judge others is over something big like being hurt.
B. The writer thinks it’s never too late to judge others.
C. The writer agrees that people should think twice before judging.
D. We often judge others by finding out a perfect reason behind the behavior.

Everyone knows about straight-A students. We usually see them in TV programs and in movies. The kids at the top of the class get there by achieving a few basic skills that others can learn in an easy way. As a result, it is necessary for you to learn the secrets of becoming straight-A students.
Among the students we have interviewed, study times are quite different according to their own habits. Some work late at night when it is quiet, while others stay awake early. And there are still others who decide to study as soon as they come home from school. All of them agree, however, on the need for study time. “Whatever I was doing, I would find some time every day for studying,” says a top student from New Jersey.
Being organized is another habit they share in common. McCray, an excellent student interviewed, plays football and plays the violin. “I was so busy and I couldn’t waste time looking for a pencil or missing paper. I kept everything right where I could put my hands on it,” he says. Some students have two folders (文件夹) — one for the day’s homework, the other for papers completed and graded.
The top students also take good notes while reading the text. In fact, David Cirri, another top student interviewed, uses “my homemade” system in which he draws a line down the center of a notebook, writes notes from the text on one side and those from the lessons given by his teacher on the other. Then, he is able to review both at once.
Just before the bell rings, most students close their books, put away papers, whisper to friends and get ready to rush out. But the top students use the few minutes to write a two-or-three-sentence summary (概要) of the lesson’s important points.
By following the above secrets, there is no doubt that you can become a straight-A student.
